You just tell yourself
Don't look back now
The voices that whisper are just playing tricks on your mind
But those little black lines
Grow to shadows so tall
They swallow you fucking whole

What will it be curious creature?
Don't stop now
You're halfway to heaven

What do you mean?
Everyone feels a little sick
When they're the center of attention

Side effects
Hang from your neck
Where your savior used to swing
Across your chest
The side effects
Took place of the freedom that didn't exist

The only way to end the pain is to follow the little black line

You just tell yourself
Don't look back now
The voices that whisper are just playing tricks on your mind
But those little black lines
Grow to shadows so tall
They swallow you fucking whole
What will it be curious creature?
Don't stop now
You're halfway to heaven

What do you mean?
Everyone feels a little sick
As the center of attention

You tiptoe
Towards the overdose
Raise glasses with strangers who act comatose
To the shadows
That thrive in the limelight
Curious creature
Can you make it out alive?

Side effects
Hang from your neck
Where your savior used to swing
Across your chest
The side effects
Took place of the freedom that didn't exist

The only way to end the pain is to follow the little black line

You just tell yourself
Don't look back now
The voices that whisper are just playing tricks on your mind
But those little black lines
Grow to shadows so tall
They swallow you whole
You're halfway to heaven

Swallow you whole
